Thank you for your apology. I completely understand your concern for Midnight; I have no problem with that.

What I had a problem with is being accused of NOT putting the cat's welfare in mind or on the forefront. I was extremely appalled by the "it's just a cat, let him go and he'll survive on his own" statement/insinuation. I have 3 indoor only cats whom I love very much... that statement just sent me reeling and had me seething.

There was/is much confusion at the beginning of the thread. Lots of communication/information went on behind the scenes that didn't make it to the posts. Asking about and/or for clarification on Midnight's welfare was more than fine; the cruel tone it was asked in hurt deeply and I shed many tears over it.

I believe what frustrated me the most was when I asked a couple of times my concerns for Midnight and an update, and no one was answering me.
I have to disagree w/ the above quoted lines. If you will read pages 3 and 4, Phred and myself gave as much info as we knew. I can't find your original post but on Page 5 of the Bowser thread, I QUOTED your question and responded.

For further clarification:
When the landlady called to have Bowser picked up, she told the dog catcher it was a "two for one" deal, either they both go or no one goes. Legally, the dog catcher is not to accept cats and he told her just that. She stood by the "two for one" deal. He relented, "Fine. If I see her, I'll get her." She agreed, and Bowser was picked up the next day.

The dog catcher did spot the cat, the cat went into hiding, and the new tenant or a neighbor (no one's really sure) said she'd keep her. And that is all we know of the Midnight tale.
